AFCAS 2025 is open – make your voice count!


The Armed Forces Continuous Attitude Survey (AFCAS) is open!

The annual Armed Forces Continuous Attitude Survey (AFCAS) gives Service personnel the chance to share your views on working conditions, living conditions, and day-to-day Service and family life. Take part in AFCAS and tell us how to better understand your needs in the areas below:
  • Service life
  • Accommodation
  • Catering and retail
  • Deployments
  • Allowances and pensions
  • Service complaints/Service Complaints Ombudsman
  • Armed Forces Covenant
  • Factors influencing intentions to stay/leave the Armed Forces
  • Defence Estate, e.g., training facilities, opportunities for sport and much more
Who can complete AFCAS, and how?

If you are a Service person who has been invited to take part in this year’s survey, you will receive an email with information on how to complete the survey. Your Service number – which is case sensitive – is the token you need to enter. Please be assured that your responses will be confidential.

Every response counts…

The more people we hear from, the better able we are to improve your Service and family life. Your voice matters. To view previous AFCAS results, visit GOV.UK.
